How long does it take to heal after total hip replacement surgery?
The incision will heal in about a two weeks and the staples will be removed in your surgeon’s office. The soft tissues deep, in and around the hip will take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to heal. This is why it is very important to be careful how you position the hip in the early postoperative period to allow these soft tissues to heal. The total return to normal gait usually takes between two and three months.
